Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-03-28
General Notes,

MI. JOnn A. JaSt is making great pre-
parations for innocent summer recrea-
tons for young and old at his place on
Second street, above Main. Thus he has
completed pleasure boat on his pool.
Other attractive features for the young
and rising generation may divert the in
vestment OF nickeIs from the marble and
ball trade.
After some squalls and clouds the
weather is again delightfully."- spring like,
although the nights are still cool.
The idea of opening a new thorough
fare through the middle of the central
business block, that block bounded by
Young, Fifth, Main and Sixth, is good
one, as it is too large for commercial
convenience. But considering that the
property on Main street alone could
not be obtained for less than $40, 900, it
renders the probability of that roadway,
like unto the leading to the good place
beyond, extremely difficult With Napo-
leon III and Haussman, his Project of
the Seine, the opening of streets and
segregating of blocks in Paris was an
easy job. But we are living in free
land where even desirable Improvements
can not be forced upon the sovereign
people.
The reappointment of Major l.. B. Ste
phens as county registrar for Weber at
the coming election is an indisputable
refutation of the overt and covert charges
insinuated against his conduct of the
February election in in this city Mr.
Stephens stands thoroughly indicated of
all the vile aspersions of the priestly
press and pulpit.
Important business will be done in the
City Council next Friday. and the City
Fathers can land we hope WILD demon
strate their desire to promote the mate
rial welfare of Ogden in a substantial
manner.
Giesy & Spargo have all the magazines
and weeklies of the season.
There seems to be a fatality attached
to restaurants in this city. Somehow or
other they are all short-lived, or at least
never long under the same management.
What with the occasional sessions of
conrt, the numerous transients and
travellers, this sounds strange, the more
so as several of these gastronomic estab-
lishments (such as the Brunswick, which
recently passed into the possession of
Mr.. Z. w. Exum] have striven diligently
of the many shipwrecks of the Gem"
the "Home" and others to numerous to
mention. There is only one (Morley's)
that has weathered it for long series of
years.
Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned on Main and Fourth streets on
Saturday afternoon by team belonging
to furniture firm on the former street
tearing down their moorings. They did
not dash very far, but exceedingly lively,
to the imminent peril of life or limb of
the multitude that at once congregated
with more curiosity than caution. One
of the horses, worth about 500, dashed
against an old block in front of Green
well & Sons meat market, knocked it
over and smashed its own head almost to
a Jelly. 1t is next to a miracle that no
people were injured. There is almost
criminal neglect INDUCED in by some
people in the matter of hitching their
teams, Notwithstanding the city ordi-
dance.
Baird's Mammoth Mlnstrels are sure to
have rousing audience in Union Opera
House this evening, and also tomorrow.
They promise an excellent programme.
Indications OF the positive swelling OF
grand boom in Ogden this season are
daily multiplying. What with the new
depot, the gas works, the incandescent
light plant, a new opera house, more
mills and manufactures, the junction
city is near attaining its manifest destiny,
in the pushing of which the local papers
evince a most commendable unanimity
Of encouragement. And why should Salt
Lake begrudge her best neighbor and
truest friend? There is room and plenty
Tor all who labor bravely.
